    then effort would be made to alleviate it

    That’s the eye-rolling part. Effort, in many cases, IS being made to alleviate it. But committee meetings and policy proposals and exploratory hearings are BORING, and anyway none of that stuff is on TikTok so does it really exist?

    The saying “the cruelty is the point” is often an indicator of someone who is very uninformed and yet still has strongly held beliefs. It’s an inability to see the complicated, messy reality. It’s a childlike desire for a simple world with a Bad Guy to fight against.

    Sometimes there is one. We do live in a world with cartoonishly evil, over the top bad people. But sometimes that’s just not how it works.
